First thought was an insert that could cover any type of sleeve you used. Something like this:

Personally I would use epoxy and medium hardener to minimize any potential warping using any water-borne glues. With a long open time of epoxy it should be easy to get the drawer perfectly aligned...

I guess it depends on how comfortable you feel making standard miters on furniture. Set your saw at 44.9 degrees and cut the miter. Glue together and use blue tape to hold the seams. I don't think...

The filters on those may say HEPA but they don't specify the rating or link their certificates, so I would be very weary of trusting them to filter dangerous dust particles from sanders, etc. ...

I'm not sure why you'd need a locking miter for that. This is long grain adhesion...it will be insanely strong, even for a short lamp.

Nominal thickness differences are >25% between them. No brainer for me. Personally I'd go 24 gauge at least for the roof.

I'll see if I can get some. If I remember correctly it was 40-series extrusion.

Wow Jim, > 1/8" is quite a bit but it looks great now! LOL, looks like you've got a pile of chips to take care of!

I finally had it with my old workbench that has a slight hump in the middle. On...

Never had a problem with Epoxy. On porous wood I do nothing to the edge, otherwise a little 120gr scuff is enough. I've even glued up thermally modified wood without issue. And excessive pressure on...

Glad you got it working Jerry, hope you enjoy making stuff on your new sled



Yes. You can look up the math, which isn't difficult, but if you have a feeler gauge it's simple. The gap is 2x...

That's right James, the results are what matter. Your method is fine, I was only suggesting that with some good layout tools you can trust and a little experience you can build anything, including a...

Sorry Mike, it wasn't a generalized question, rather it was in context of using the same tools to build a sled as one would a piece of fine furniture. I'm loosely familiar with the use of a shooting...

Respectfully accuracy is not increased if you know what you're doing. You're chasing numbers that have no relevancy. If you can't build an accurate sled with a square for fine furniture building,...

The KM tool is a cool innovation to our craft. Necessary? No. If you want it, get it, enjoy. I squared my sled with a 1/8" gauge block in the kerf and a square I trust. That's basically all the...

The AVID machines are quite capable. I helped my buddy order a few parts from 8020.net to reinforce the exiting structure (extra extrusions, cross-members, gussets, etc.). I think he spent about...

John, I'm not trying to get into this argument, but I've heard it mentioned a time or two myself. I do believe there are sustainable sources but just look up "ipe lumber deforestation" and you will...

I guess I just see my time and durability of material as value. Given your parameters of a table constantly exposed to the elements, I'd go a different route. For the top I'd use Polywood since...

No problems, but this isn't the proper sub-forum. I recommend posting in the "Forum Tech Support" sub-forum where you might get better assistance.

Agreed. That’s probably the approach I would take too.

I’ve used this one and I was somewhat blown away at how great it felt when operating.

I don’t use my PM 2820 EVS very often but IMHO it doesn’t take that much space and I 100% would never trade it for a benchtop. On numerous occasions I’ve used the outstanding capacity, not to mention...

I have a few squares I build every piece of furniture with. They’re square. So that’s how I build my sleds and other jigs.

Agreed Jim. I didn't want to mention that to confuse the question, but I often use two coats on table tops, waiting 24 hours between applications. The important part is not to over do the second...

Not sure about Tampa, but a garage is a garage, doesn't matter what you do with it in Colorado. My garage and detached shop are climate controlled...they're still garages and count for exactly 0...

It's not two treatments, it's a pre-color application of mint before the actual two-part is applied. It only takes a few hours to dry, just test first! You can pull off some amazing looks. The...
